The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

hapter 508

“Stop!” Dorothy waved her hands frantically, “It was Dr. Quincy’s skill that saved you. She’s a wizard in the medical world. Without Dr. Quincy, you’d still be living on the line!”

Deep down, Dorothy harbored a sense of inferiority, viewing herself as nothing more than dirt on the ground. So when Everett fell for her, it was a shock to her system.

“The Lopez family pays her a salary.” Everett wasn’t too hung up on it.

As a physician at the Lopez Private Hospital, it was only natural for Quincy to treat patients; it was part of her job description! At most, they could give her a bonus for a job well done.

Just like with Heather. Amanda kept reminding Heather of her enormous sacrifices for the Lopez family, praising her dedication and single–minded focus. But as far as Everett was concerned, Heather had already been compensated for her work. It was her job, after all.

“Don’t get the wrong idea. I’m not jealous,” Dorothy insisted, worried he might actually change his doctor. “I swear!”

Everett, however, was not satisfied with her response. His handsome face became a bit somber.

“Not jealous?”
